Abstract
 The use of FBEGs to treat Group IV TAAAs reduces the acuity of patient care by avoiding a thoracotomy and major surgical dissection, thus decreasing hospital length of stay. Although long-term follow-up remains limited, durability seems to be promising,1,2 and this procedure offers a viable option to high-risk patients. Because EVAR with FBEG is a new procedure in Canada, nurses involved with every aspect of care are challenged to maintain high levels of competency by continually educating themselves in this evolving field.
